The Denver Broncos met with Tulane cornerback Jarius Monroe at the East-West Shrine Bowl in Frisco, Texas last month, according to Justin Melo of The Draft Network.
In an interview with Melo, Monroe (6-2, 205 pounds) listed the Broncos meeting among the conversations that “stood out” to him, but he also mentioned four other teams in the same category.
The cornerback had an impressive performance at the Shrine Bowl, recording one interception and one pass breakup in the West team’s 26-11 victory over the East team.
In two years with the Green Wave, Monroe totaled 69 tackles, 18 pass breakups, six interceptions, one sack and one forced fumble (27 games). Before transferring to Tulane ahead of the 2022 season, Monroe spent three years at Nicholls State University, an FCS program.
Monroe is projected to be a late-round pick or undrafted free agent in April. Denver does not currently hold a pick in the seventh round, but the team does have a sixth-round pick. The 2024 NFL draft will be held in Detroit from April 25-27.
